I think all Givenchy is goldtone rather than plated. I've never had anything else, at least.
I'm not fond of the round stones either, unless the're colored diamonds of course. :-)
It keeps coming back around. I have a modern costume ring with scissors cut stones.
My find of the day isn't that photogenic. My sister asked me if I had my old Terry Pratchett books; she wanted some for my niece. Mine were all...
